I started using "God's Little Explorers" with Titus. This is a preschool program written by a homeschool mom that incorporates a lot of Charlotte Mason philosophies. The curriculum doesn't teach the alphabet in order; rather, it teaches the Bible in order and the alphabet revolves around God's Word. The letter for Week One was "X" - how appropriate, since that's the letter I am on for Blogging Through the Alphabet!
Silas, my 5 year old, has joined Titus, 3, this week. It is such a fun, sweet,hands-on curriculum that only takes us 15-30 minutes a day to complete. For the letter X this week we:
had a treasure hunt and found the items the boys would need for their "Explorer Kits" - magnifying glass, flashlight, markers, crayons, glue stick, and scissors
"dug" for buried treasure in rice - beads and candy
talked about God's Word being the ultimate treasure
made X's and rectangles with craft sticks
drew X's
sang the B-I-B-L-E
made a treasure box out of paper and plastic gems
decorated our "Explorer Kits" with duct tape
wrote X's and drew a treasure map
made a treasure map of out a paper bag for our adventure {we added the Bible this week, and will add something each week}
We had a great week and I look forward to next week!
Cute fun with the letter "x"!
